1. Industry Investment Rating - No information provided in the report 2. Core Viewpoints - The current terminal demand in the steel industry remains weak, and the inventory pressure of hot-rolled coils is relatively prominent. Steel prices are expected to fluctuate in the bottom range. Affected by the export license management, the prices of finished steel products will be under short-term pressure, but they are expected to gradually digest the policy impact later. The willingness to store steel for the winter this year is not strong, and large-scale restocking may not occur. The macro level is still in a policy window period, and attention should be paid to whether the "dual carbon" policy will be strengthened again and have a marginal impact on the steel industry [2] - The supply of iron ore is increasing, the demand is decreasing, and the inventory in ports is rising while the inventory of imported ore in steel mills is at a five-year low. The iron ore price is expected to mainly operate in the shock range [5] - The supply and demand pattern of manganese silicon is still not ideal, while the supply and demand structure of ferrosilicon remains basically balanced. The future market trends of manganese silicon and ferrosilicon are mainly led by the direction of the black sector and the cost increase caused by the increase of manganese ore price and electricity price [11] - The production of industrial silicon is restricted by the high operating rate in the northwest region, and the demand from the polysilicon and organic silicon industries is weakening. The short-term supply and demand of industrial silicon are marginally weakening. Attention should be paid to the subsequent emotional fluctuations and the new supply-side disturbances in the northwest region [14] - The production of polysilicon is expected to continue to decline in December, but the decline may be limited due to the production ramp-up and start-up expectations of some bases in the northwest. The overall demand in the downstream is weak, and the pressure of inventory accumulation before the Spring Festival is difficult to ease. The market is in a marginal weak balance, and attention should be paid to the actual spot transactions [16] - The supply of glass is decreasing, but the upward space is limited due to high inventory and weak terminal demand. The demand recovery is weak, and the market is expected to continue to show a narrow-range shock trend in the short term [19] - The supply pressure of soda ash is gradually emerging with the resumption of production of maintenance enterprises and the expected release of new production capacity in Alxa. The downstream demand has not improved significantly, and the procurement is mainly for rigid demand replenishment. Attention should be paid to the impact of enterprise maintenance schedules and inventory changes on the market [21] 3.
